conclusions the recurrence of hyperparathyroid hypercalcemia in htp-jt syndrome after an initial total parathyroidectomy is a well-known condition necessitating careful management, an evaluation of any underlying genetic abnormality, and a family examination. a surgical treatment and surveillance of calcium and pth measurements are necessary to prevent a recurrence. introduction cancer in the p...

parathyroid adenomas, or hyperplasia may be present in patients with hypercalcemia. treatment is by surgical excision, but about 10% of the lesions may be in ectopic locations. pre-operative localization of the lesions with non-lvasive imaging, using radionuclides, ultrasound, ct, or mr], may simplify surgery, and reduce patient morbidity. however, the reports of the accuracy of the currently a...

case presentation: this case illustrated the development of secondary and subsequently tertiary hyperparathyroidism in a 66-year-old man with a history of chronic renal failure. the patient was managed surgically by parathyroid autotransplantation and serial explantation. discussion: refractory hypercalcemia due to autonomous parathyroid tissue following parathyroidectomy can be managed with gr...

background: calciphylaxis is a serious disorder often observed in dialysis patients and less frequently in chronic renal failure patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism. mortality rate increases following the development of calciphylaxis, immediate application of parathyroidectomy along with other treatment options may be lifesaving. case presentation: a 44-year-old male patient had been on...

Abstract Background and Aims Multiple Endocrince Neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) syndrome, has an autosomal dominant transmission pattern, characterized by hyperparathyroidism, benign or malignant tumors in pancreas islets, pituitary tumors, thymic carcinomas, adrenal cortex adenomas angio-fibromas of the skin. We are describing 2 cases MEN1 with first cardinal manifestations within kidney. Method Medi...

The patient is a seventheen years old girl, with severe pain and swelling in right maxillary sinus region and facial deformity from two weeks prior to referring. CT scan demonstrated a large tumoral mass in right maxillary sinus extended to petereigomaxillary fossa, orbital floor, lacrimal system and nasoethmoid region. Hard palate had been destroyed and bulged in to the oral cavity. Tumor was ...

Primary hyperparathyroidism is the third most common endocrine disorder after diabetes and thyroid disease, and women are affected twice as often as men. Hyperparathyroidism in pregnancy was first reported in 1931. Maternal complications in patients with hyperparathyroidism can be as high as 67%. We present a case of a pregnant patient with chronic hypertension that was exacerbated throughout t...

Metastatic calcinosis cutis is an uncommon complication of end-stage kidney disease but has severe and disabling effects. Its development attributed to disorders calcium phosphate metabolism associated with secondary hyperparathyroidism. The mainstay treatment remains medical therapy; however, in refractory cases a parathyroidectomy indicated. We describe the case 22-year-old female hyperparath...

A B S T R A C T Serum immunoreactive parathyroid hormone (IPTH) was measured by radioimmunoassay in 54 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and in 18 consecutive patients with ectopic hyperparathyroidism due to nonparathyroid cancer without apparent skeletal metastasis. Although serum calcium concentration was higher in the group with ectopic hyperparathyroidism, serum IPTH was lower (rank...

OBJECTIVE To examine the association between calcium intake and risk of primary hyperparathyroidism in women. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING Nurses' Health Study I, which originally recruited participants from the 11 most populous states in the United States. PARTICIPANTS 58,354 female registered nurses enrolled in the Nurses' Health Study I aged 39-66 years in 1986 and with no ...
